■質問と答え
Q1: How does Ao plan to spend the three months before he leaves?
アオは退職までの3ヶ月をどのように過ごす予定ですか?
A1: He plans to spend about two months handing over his responsibilities, and then use up his remaining paid leave for the last month.
（約2ヶ月かけて担当業務を引き継ぎ、残りの1ヶ月は有給休暇を使い切る予定です。）
Q2: How does Morita react when Ao tells him he wants to leave?
アオが退職の意向を伝えたとき、森田はどう反応しますか?
A2: At first, Morita tries to keep Ao by offering a raise or a promotion, but in the end, he respects Ao's decision and wishes him well.
（最初、森田は昇給や昇進を提案してアオを引き留めようとしますが、最終的にはアオの決断を尊重し、彼の幸運を祈ります。）
■単語・フレーズの解説
think through（じっくり考え抜く）
本文での使用箇所：
Morita: You've clearly thought this through, and I'm proud of how much you've grown.
解説：through が付くことで「最後まで・徹底的に」考えるという意味に。単なる think より深く検討したニュアンス。「あなたは明らかにこれをじっくり考え抜いた」。
transition plan（移行計画、引き継ぎ計画）
本文での使用箇所：
Morita: Let's work out a transition plan together so the handover goes smoothly.
解説：transition（移行期間）はビジネス頻出。work out（練り上げる・策定する）とセットで使える。「引き継ぎがスムーズに進むよう、一緒に移行計画を立てましょう」。
use up one's remaining paid leave（残りの有給休暇を使い切る）
本文での使用箇所：
Ao: ...and then use up my remaining paid leave.
解説：paid leave は「有給休暇」（paid vacation とも）。use up は「使い切る」。退職・働き方の話で頻出の実用表現。「それから残りの有給休暇を使い切ります」。
I wish you all the best.（幸運をお祈りします）
本文での使用箇所：
Morita: We'll be sad to see you go, but I wish you all the best.
解説：別れ際の定番の決まり文句。退職・転職・卒業など、人を送り出す場面で使う。丸ごと覚えられる。「寂しくなるけれど、あなたの幸運を祈っています」。
work under (someone)（〜のもとで働く）
本文での使用箇所：
Ao: I've truly enjoyed working under you.
解説：上司との上下関係を表す表現。work for（〜に雇われている）との違いも解説価値あり。under は「直属の部下として」というニュアンス。「あなたのもとで働けて本当に良かったです」。
■スクリプト
Ao: Mr. Morita, do you have a moment? There's something important I'd like to talk to you about.
Morita: Of course, Ao. Have a seat. What's on your mind?
Ao: After a lot of thought, I've decided to leave the company. I've accepted a position at another company, and I wanted to tell you in person first.
Morita: I see... That's a surprise. You've been one of our best people. May I ask what led you to this decision?
Ao: It wasn't an easy decision. I've learned so much here over the past five years, and I'm truly grateful. But I feel it's time for me to take on a new challenge and grow in a different environment.
Morita: I understand. If it's about the salary or your position, we could discuss a raise or a promotion. I'd really like to keep you on the team.
Ao: I really appreciate that, Mr. Morita. It means a lot. But this isn't about money or title. It's about challenging myself in a new field. I hope you can understand.
Morita: Well, I can't say I'm not disappointed. But I respect your decision. You've clearly thought this through, and I'm proud of how much you've grown.
Ao: Thank you. That means more than you know. Of course, I'll make sure to hand over my responsibilities properly before I leave.
Morita: I appreciate that. Let's work out a transition plan together so the handover goes smoothly. When were you thinking for your last day?
Ao: I'd like to spend about two months handing things over properly, and then use up my remaining paid leave. So my last day at work would be in about three months.
Morita: That sounds like a responsible plan. Thank you for thinking of the team, Ao. We'll be sad to see you go, but I wish you all the best.
Ao: Thank you for everything, Mr. Morita. I've truly enjoyed working under you.
